Following the sudden death of the 30-year-old founder Gerald Cotten, one of Canada's largest cryptocurrency exchanges was\u00a0granted<\/a> an order for creditor protection in the Nova Scotia Supreme Court while the company looks to recover $190 million in investor funds.<\/p>\n

On Jan. 28, Quadringa, through a statement<\/a> from Jennifer Robertson, wife and partner of Cotten, announced that the CEO had passed away due to complications with Crohn's disease on December 9, 2018, while traveling in India.<\/p>\n

What initially started the fiasco is that Cotten had moved the majority of the funds into cold storage, and he was the only person with access to the cold wallets;\u00a0Trusting\u00a0 $190 in users funds million to one point of failure is largely seen as a poor security practice. This caused consternation and concern from the 115,000 users with balances.<\/p>\n

Since the news of the \u2018lost\u2019 funds went public, QuadrigaCX\u2019s site<\/a> has been taken down with a message explaining that creditor protection had been granted.<\/p>\n

Creditor protection<\/em> protects defaulted borrowers from creditors. Such protection allows debtors to retain control of enough possessions to maintain a “basic standard of living,” according to Business Pundit, even if QuadrigaCX loses in a lawsuit against users who lost funds.<\/p>\n

According<\/a> to Jack Julian, a reporter at the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation who was present at the delivery of the order, Justice Michael Wood gave<\/a> the exchange a 30-day stay of proceedings in a bid to stop any lawsuits from proceeding against the company at this point.<\/p>\n

Court filings show that some users have substantial balances, with the largest claim reportedly valued at approximately $70 million, added Julian<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Quadriga may have been granted a 30-days to figure out a solution, but it is possible that it is delaying the inevitable. If Cotten was indeed the only one with accesses to the exchange\u2019s cold storage, then there is a substantial chance that those funds are lost forever.<\/p>\n

The situation brings up additional questions around unregulated or partially regulated exchanges. Many of these institutions are uninsured and do not have safeguards against a massive hack or other extraordinary loss of funds.<\/p>\n

Cryptocurrency was hailed as a way to combat financial institutions, yet it is possible that, in some senses, it merely replaced one set of institutions with another set of less regulated, less trustworthy ones.<\/p>\n

However, there is a positive note to this. Loss of funds will reaffirm the community\u2019s belief in personal responsibility and self-custody over cryptocurrency, with the adage \u201cnot your keys, not your bitcoin\u201d once again making the rounds on social media.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
